How to Hide the Cable Box

Our cabin was designed to have the TV on the mantel in the living room. {not designed by me} We've lived here 8 years and I'm working on embracing the idea of the TV on the mantel, but I will not embrace the cable box sitting next to it.
What to do?? Put it in a box. A decorative box. One I made just to fit. With scrap wood trims on the front.

As it looks when my guy is watching TV {he's a channel changer!}
My favorite part of making the box...the scrap wood door. I used left over trims to cover the MDF door.

The box doesn't get too hot does it?

Great job! Now the entire display looks flawless and beautiful all around. However, I am curious to know if the cable box can actually receive the signal from your remote control because the cover lid looks quite thick. Nevertheless, I still think it is a neat idea and looks lightweight so moving it to block out any other ugly equipment would definitely be possible.

If the cable box sets back far enough in the wooden box, just add some trim to the inside of the door. Open or closed it would look fabulous!!
